cepted some of the meansst Of crimes a.
mears to o0utr ! the elections. why
should they DOT? II crime should be
resorted to BY the white Democrats Of
the South TO cheat and intimidlts the
poor negroes in TIE South, why should
not the white Democrats of the North
be Permitted TO resort to forgery and
perjury TO successfully ebauQs the result
OF the election in the Nortbl Why dis
criminate against Maekin and Tosney
by seudin0 them 90 the peniteRtisry
while sending the Democrats Of the
